Coming off more like violent head case Gyp Rosetti from “Boardwalk Empire” than a representative and servant of the people, new felon and prohibited person Rep. Michael Grimm committed yet another criminal act by threatening to throw NY1 Washington bureau reporter Michael Scotto off the Capitol building balcony last January for asking him a question about corruption allegations. The congressman pleaded guilty three days ago to felony tax evasion.
“Let me be clear to you,” Grimm told the much smaller journalist live on the air (see embedded video, above). “If you ever do that to me again, I’ll throw you off this [expletive deleted] balcony.
“You’re not man enough,” Grimm continued, adding further threatening insult to injury. “I’ll break you in half.”
As is so often the case by wrong-doers caught dead to rights in the act, Grimm apologized to reporter Scotto after realizing that everyone had witnessed his angry meltdown and there would be no finessing his way out of being exposed showing just what stuff he’s made of. So instead, he resorted to the time-honored political practice of weasel words.
throw his ass off the building, good example of eye for an eye. Hope he rots in jail not prison.
